Borrowing Funny at Clocktower Cabaret

A burlesque room hosting a straight play for two nights is the interesting part here. The Wounded Cobra Theatre brings Borrowing Funny into Clocktower for a two-night run, a comedy built on joke theft, rivalry, and the wreckage that follows in a stand-up scene. Clocktower describes the script as award winning, which is the venue's own claim and not independently verified.

The subject fits the room. Clocktower programming is comedy-adjacent variety, and a play about comedians stealing from each other lands differently in a cabaret basement than it would in a black box. The production runs first at Vintage Theatre in Aurora, 1468 Dayton Street, from September 11 to 27, and the Clocktower dates are its only downtown Denver run.

The venue is at 1601 Arapahoe Street, lower level of the Daniels and Fisher Tower, roughly 200 seats. Ticket links on the venue's shows page load through a script, so buying by phone at 303-293-0075 is the fallback if the widget does not render.
